Great book for early readers and others as well:
Used this book with groups of struggling readers. It was motivating and they wanted to read the sequels. They are very fond of Fly Guy now, and they are very excited about the next book. They want to write a letter to Tedd Arnold and ask him to write more Fly Guy books.
Buzzzzz...:
Fly Guy is so cute. A fly cute? Well, he is. He's drawn that way as only Tedd Arnold can. I love his pictures as they all have that same uniqueness to them. You can always spot a Tedd Arnold book. Fly Guy has an owner named Buzz and he says his name all the time. Who wouldn't want a pet that says your name? My kids really enjoy this book. It's simple yet innovative. How many of us wish we thought of it ourselves? Love it!
Fun book series:
My daughter (age 7) is never "keen" to read books. When she told me she liked the "Fly Guy" books she read in class - I went and bought the series! There are 5 books, total. The stories are silly and have a fun "gross" factor that most kids would enjoy. The books have a few chapters, but they are easy readers and so it allows the kids to have a sense of accomplishment (having read a "Chapter" book), while not being too labor-intensive. I would definitely recommend them for kids that need to be "encouraged" to read.
Fly Guy Soars!:
Excellent, witty, funny and got a great response when read to my grandsons, ages 6 and 7.
A great beginning reader book!:
My little girl was introduced to fly guy in Super Fly Guy! She just loved the story! Of course we had to pick up the first story! Buzz is looking for something to catch for the Amazing Pet Show. He meets fly guy as the bump into each other. Well fly guy boinks his noise. He catches him and takes him home but nobody believes a fly can be a pet! Dad tries to get him with a flyswatter! My girl told him NO! Even at the show, the judges keep telling him a fly is not a pet! But flyguy wins them over in the end! This book deservedly won the Theodor Geisel award as it's really easy to read and it's interesting enough to keep children interested. Artwork is great as my girl did not get tired of the pictures!
